Discovery of a novel MurA inhibitor via AlphaFold 3 model-based virtual screening

S. aureus is one of the most important bacteria associated with human diseases. UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyethylene transferase (MurA) is an important enzyme involved in the synthesis of peptidoglycan in bacterial cell walls. The crystal structure of MurA from S. aureus has...

A three-metabolite microbiota-associated signature for early risk stratification of gestational diabetes mellitus

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and long-term metabolic and cardiovascular risk. However, oral glucose tolerance testing at 24–28 gestational weeks limits early risk stratification. Gut microbiota-associated metabolites may reflec...

Stress hyperglycaemic ratio is independently associated with intramyocardial haemorrhage in STEMI patients: a cardiac magnetic resonance study

ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) often results in microvascular injury, including intramyocardial haemorrhage (IMH), despite successful reperfusion. This study explored whether the stress hyperglycaemic ratio (SHR) is independently associated with IMH in STEMI p...

Lycium barbarum glycopeptide attenuates ischaemic stroke by inhibiting inflammation via SIRT3-mediated NLRP3 deacetylation

Background Inflammatory processes play a critical role in ischaemic stroke. Acetylation of NLRP3 is a key step in amplifying neuroinflammation. (LbGP), a bioactive glycoprotein derived from Lycium barbarum, has anti-inflammatory potential, but its mechanisms in post-stroke neuroi...
